Impact: By all accounts Google and Asus have delivered a seriously powerful and fast Android tablet at a very low price. There is a question whether all of that processing speed is necessary for a tablet going after the Kindle Fire and Nook Color, Yet as Sony has found with the Xperia PLAY, new versions of Android don’t play nice with modest hardware specifications where gaming is concerned. As we don’t see the Kindle and Nooks as gaming platforms, Google may have a niche to fill in delivering a stepped-up gaming experience on tablets compared to the iPad. The question is can Google find a way to assure developers they can make the money necessary to warrant creating better games specifically for the Nexus 7. It is the old chicken and egg question. However, the low price, powerful specs and the fact retailers like GameStop are eagerly promoting the system, means the Nexus 7 has the potential to be a game changer in the tablet market.
